2 Product Overview
The CU/XLPE/LSZH/SWA/LSZH 0.6/1kV Armoured Power Cable is a fire-safe low voltage power cable purpose-built for environments where low smoke and zero halogen properties are critical. Manufactured to IEC 60502-1 and BS 5467, this cable delivers reliable power transmission with enhanced safety in fire scenarios.
The cable features a high-purity copper conductor with Class 2 stranded construction per IEC 60228, ensuring excellent conductivity and mechanical flexibility. The XLPE insulation provides outstanding thermal performance with a 90°C continuous rating, while the SWA (steel wire armour) layer delivers robust mechanical protection against impact, crushing, and rodent damage in demanding installations.
Both the inner and outer sheaths are manufactured from LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) material, which emits minimal smoke and no toxic halogen gases when exposed to fire. This makes the cable ideal for enclosed or populated spaces where life safety is paramount. The cable also features non-propagation flame performance per IEC 60332-1, preventing the spread of fire along the cable run.
All production is managed under the quality system of SORIVO, with each batch undergoing 3.5 kV AC dielectric testing and routine LSZH compound verification. The cable is engineered for 30+ years of service life in fire-sensitive applications. For detailed company information, please visit sorivocable.com/about-us/.
3 Key Features
LSZH Fire Safety
Low Smoke Zero Halogen inner and outer sheaths emit minimal smoke and no toxic halogen gases in fire conditions, protecting people and sensitive equipment in enclosed spaces.
SWA Mechanical Protection
Galvanized steel wire armour provides robust protection against mechanical impact, crushing forces, and rodent damage, making the cable suitable for direct burial and harsh environments.
XLPE High-Temperature Rating
Cross-linked polyethylene insulation enables 90°C continuous conductor temperature and 250°C short-circuit tolerance, delivering higher current-carrying capacity than PVC alternatives.
Flame Retardant
Non-propagation flame performance per IEC 60332-1 prevents fire from spreading along the cable, providing critical escape time in emergency situations.
Dual Standard Compliance
Manufactured to both IEC 60502-1 and BS 5467 standards, ensuring compatibility with international and UK market project specifications.
Versatile Installation
Suitable for cable trays, conduits, direct burial, and aerial installations across a wide range of cross-sections from 1.5mm² to 630mm².
